My
fundraising goal: $2,500
Total raised so far: $ 720
Passion drives me and if you know me, I make that pretty
clear in everything that I do. One of my passions is
doing triathlons and I feel extremely privileged to
participate in the 2012 New York City Triathlon.
I’m partnering with the Children of Peru Foundation
in order to help raise funds for the poor kids in Peru.
I'm aiming to raise at least $2,500 and hopefully more
with your help!
I've traveled a lot as a kid and I've come to realize
how lucky I've been growing up with caring parents and
proper healthcare. But really, not everyone has this and
I'm really motivated to make a difference in the lives
of others so that they may have a better and healthier
childhood. The Children of Peru Foundation is a
great organization that provides funding for programs in
Peru.
Look below to see how to donate but first here are two
of the missions you will be supporting:
1 Medical Missions For Children: is a USA based
501c3 organization dedicated to providing free quality
surgical and dental services to poor and
under-privileged children in various countries
throughout the world. They organize a yearly mission to
Cuzco and another one to Cajamarca to provide free
surgery (Cleft lips and palates as well as microtia) to
poor children in Peru.
2 Samusocial Peru: With their two medical mobile
units (the second one bought by the Children of Peru
Foundation) they do regular tours in Huaycan
(shantytown near the capital city of Lima), searching
for any sick children to provide first aid medical
services. A medical center ("La Estacion") was built in
2006 so that first medical help and social services can
be provided in the center of Huaycan.
There are two methods by which you can sponsor my
NYC Triathlon participation and support this
wonderful cause:
1 Click the link below to
make a donation online through PayPal. You will get an
email notification once you submit your donation,
however, it will take about 24 hours to view your
donation on the site.
2 Send a check made
payable to Children of Peru Foundation (with
Bin Yang written on the memo line) to:
Children of Peru Foundation
340 East 64th St. Suite 2G, New York, NY 10065
Sorry, no cash donations!
I'd love to see you come race day but if you can't
make it, support an awesome cause and me, while
bringing a smile to a kid in Peru.
Thank you!
